Why I need this:My students feed into schools with this technology and students who are very familiar with its use. I don't want them to be behind the curve. Additionally, this technology expands how information can be presented, in a way that they are increasingly accustomed to and engaged with. This particular package incorporates the projector that is required for use that my classroom does not have.

My Friends

Great group of fifth and sixth graders with varied interests; writing, drama, dinosaurs, sports, super heroes, reading, etc. Looking forward to incorporating the use of flip cameras to capture and share the great thinking these kids engage in. Very excited about my first year teaching a multi-age class and am confident my students will rise to the challenge of becoming critical thinkers and communicators as they work together.

Position:

5/6 classroom teacher

Needs:

software that supports basic skill work to make it more engaging and fun, i.e. map skills and math computation practice
Sciencesoftware!

My Philosophy:

All kids will work to achieve high expectations we establish, with appropriate support along the way, often exceeding what they thought they could accomplish at the start. Kids need to be challenged and to be taught to reason and think.
